Charles and Ray Eames elevated the everyday coat rack into something fun.
One of the most accessible, most joyful icons of the Mid-Century Modern era, the Eames Hang-It-All sprang from Charles and Ray Eames' playful spirit. They didn't leave their curiosity at home, but instead brought a sense of play to all their work, taking the everyday coat rack to a new place that was inventive and fun. Holds hats, umbrellas, robes, jackets, scarves, skates, backpacks, and more.

Design story:
Beginning in the mid-1940s and continuing throughout their careers, Charles and Ray Eames designed a variety of whimsical toys and furniture pieces specifically for children, including this 1953 piece for Tigrett Enterprises Playhouse Division.
Why children's products? For purely personal reasons: Charles and Ray wanted to give them to their own grandchildren and to the children of friends.
The Hang-It-All -- along with molded plywood animals, small-scale chairs and tables, elaborate cardboard-and-paper masks, and brightly colored building blocks -- were all given the same careful design consideration as the couple's furniture designs.
